Listen now
Description
Al Jazeera investigative reporter Drew Ambrose says Australia is missing out on key major news stories happening across Asia because our newsrooms are disproportionately focused on the stories from the UK and the US. Studies of the Australian media landscape have found that awareness of issues in Asia seems to be almost non-existent in the minds of news executives, yet over a quarter of Australians were born overseas, predominantly in Asian countries. So why are we ignoring our nearest neighbours? Guest:  Drew Ambrose, Senior Producer, 101 East, for Al Jazeera International.
